Your Own Sacred Texts
What books do you Atheists worship? (I need suggestions here. Selfish person coming through!)
Name favorite titles, even if they aren't really Atheist books. Read a great book on Evolution? A book that explains the science of homosexuality? A picture book of undersea creatures? A biography of Penn? A cookbook that includes flying spaghetti monster supreme? Or a beautiful fiction about Princess Sprinkles in the enchanted forest?
Okay, so I went overboard with the suggestions, but lets go for variety and the reasons you love them. Personally, I'd especially be interested in religious/psychology stuff. ...And maybe a picture book.
To start off, I really love The Scarlet Letter. ...Everyone else in my class hated it. Interestingly, even though it's fiction, it still offers a lot of information and combats Puritan ideals... a great perspective and beautiful story to boot.

That's the joke. :) I think if you're on this site you probably know that.

The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins, all of Bart Ehrman's books, God is not great By Christopher Hitchens, George R. R. Martin's books, Carl Sagan's A Demon Haunted World just to name a very very few.

The audio book version of Darwin's "On Origin of Species" is narrated by Dawkins, and is a fascinating kick to the head.

Leaving out the words sacred and worship, two of my favorites are "The God Delusion" by Richard Dawkins and "Under the Banner of Heaven" by Jon Krakauer.

Personally, if you want a good story, you can't beat the Odyssey. Also, Penn Jillette's "God, No" is pretty good.

Has To Kill A Mockingbird been mentioned?
Also, The Universe in a Nutshell. :)

Signing Atheists
I was going to set up a group for Deaf Atheists, but figured I'd probably be alone in here if I did that so I figured I'd open it to anyone who knows sign language or even interested in learning it.
